Weekday evenings, weekends.

I've been in several games, but the only ones I've gotten to work are those with 5 or fewer people. Turnless is fine with one or two opponents, but beyond that it's unbearable. Simultaneous works the best so long as everyone stays at their computers for the duration of the game.

Where are you in Ill, Berduin? Sometime we should try a game, should get a decent ping.

Where the heck are all the people from Cali? BTW, I am Jesslyn in the game.

I enjoy slower games, and I look forward to playing one over a month or longer. But I can't get enough of turnless and simultaneous either!

Watch out guys, he came by the name honestly from what I hear.

War, find Zylka. I have had good performance playing duels from Edmonton to Kelowna. You two should be able to have a good game.

Question?

Does it really work if you are in close proximity? I've only ever managed to play the game once. And it lost sync after 12 minutes.

[notyoueither]

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And I have had many good games with people close to me.

I haven't tried the real time MP yet, and I am now nervous about the reported ME problems.

Another thing to consider is who's backbone you are on (no peering lag if you are on the same backbone). Chances are in the US you are on either WorldCom's UUNet or Sprint's SprintNet. Being on the same ISP is even better, epsecially when in the same metro. My suggestion is to list your ISP as well.
